The unhappiest person on Old Dominion's campus two weeks ago might be the most joyful on Saturday. It's been 11 months since Colby Goodwyn ran across the turf in front of the usual sellout crowd at Foreman Field. Some of that was his own doing, some was beyond his control. Regardless, the Monarchs' running back and kick-return specialist approaches Saturday's matchup against Hampton University (6 p.m.) as a small victory. "That's one of the main things that gets me pumped up," Goodwyn said.

When Tina Goodwyn can see again, one of the first things she plans to look at is a football field. That's where her son, Colby Goodwyn, a freshman at Old Dominion, is powering the nation's best kickoff return team. Goodwyn, a major cog in Phoebus High's 2009 state championship, averages 29.83 yards – seventh-best in the country - on 23 returns. Tina Goodwyn, awaiting a cornea transplant to restore the vision that a degenerative eye disease called keratoconus has stolen from her, has seen none of them.

Old Dominion freshman Colby Goodwyn, an ex-Phoebus High standout who ranks seventh in the nation with 29.83 yards per kick return, sprained his right elbow in the Monarchs' 28-14 win at Hampton this past Saturday. "It's painful, it's swollen, and he has limited motion at this time, but the X-rays appear to be negative," ODU coach Bobby Wilder said Monday. "We'll see how he progresses through the week. " Goodwyn's status for this weekend's game against Savannah State is uncertain.

It stands to reason that with such a glowing resume, their success rate at Darling Stadium would be off the chain. And it is — in four seasons together at Phoebus, Colby Goodwyn and Chaz Robinson lost only one game on Victoria Blvd. Think about it: 35 times they played on Darling's turf, and only once did they not take care of business. The lone defeat came nearly four years ago, when they were freshmen and before the Phantoms became the Phantoms . Friday night, they'll play there for the final time in the Virginia High School Coaches Association All-Star football game.

At this rate, you have to wonder if Old Dominion will switch to gold helmets and play "Phantom of the Opera" before kickoff. Probably neither, but this much is for certain: The Monarchs' roster next season will have a definite Phoebus feel to it. Tailback/safety Colby Goodwyn, a first-team All-Peninsula District pick on both sides of the ball, became the second player from the Phantoms' state- championship team to commit to Old Dominion....

As part of the state champion 200-meter freestyle relay team at Lafayette last season, Colby Jensen experienced success in a largely individual sport. But this season as a captain on the Lafayette field hockey team, Jensen shared her success with her teammates, making the experience all the more satisfying. Jensen helped lead the Rams to a fourth-place finish in the Bay Rivers district this season and a 14-4 overall record. Lafayette beat Grafton in the first round of the district tournament before falling to unbeaten and reigning state champion Tabb.
